All of the panels have been joined and the gores inserted to complete the two halves of the corset. The seams are sewn twice using two different stitch lengths. This helps to strengthen the seams so that they can withstand the tension exerted on them when the corset is laced without ripping apart as though perforated. The seam allowances are then pressed to one side and 3/8" channels are stitched to one side of each seam. It is into these channels that the steel bones will be inserted. Additional vertical cording also supports the wider side panel. The photographs show how the shaping of the pieces at the hip and the insertion of the gores create a three-dimensional form that will hug the body to create the desired silhouette.
